Wine Working

Set in the summer of 1968, "Wine Working" delves into the political clashes affecting the farming community in South Moravian Pálavice. The Unified farmers' cooperative faces internal conflict as some members attempt to break away and engage in private wine trade, leading to a struggle between traditional values and emerging capitalist ideas.

The narrative centers around Michal Janák, the cooperative's chairman, who remains committed to farming despite the pressures to conform to new political realities. As the plot unfolds, the arrival of émigré Jozka Hrdlicka adds another layer of complexity to the story, highlighting the contrast between past and present in the wine business. This film's basis on literature suggests a deeper exploration of its themes, appealing to collectors who appreciate adaptations.
